Save me from the matchmaking mamas!

No, seriously. Yesterday, I helped out playing piano at a new church plant out in Tracy (Spring Valley Chinese Christian Church) when one of the church members started talking to me. It was pretty normal small-talk up until she started asking me how old I was. And then she asked me if I had a boyfriend. When I said no, she asked again, "You really don't have a boyfriend?"

Uh....no?

Upon which she mentioned that she had a 29 year old son (*hint hint nudge nudge*) and began talking about him.

Oh. Dear.

Honestly, I couldn't tell if I wanted to be horribly embarrassed or bust out in hysterical laughter. Of course, I didn't do either, but I think I was more inclined towards laughter than anything else. Sad thing is, this isn't even the first occasion in recent years that someone has attempted matchmaking. I know that according to historical standards, I'd be considered an old maid by now, but can we please hold off on the matchmaking for a couple (several) more years?

Aiya.
